NifH- Harboring Bacterial Community Composition Across an Alaskan Permafrost Thaw Gradient

NifH- Harboring Bacterial Community Composition Across an Alaskan Permafrost Thaw Gradient

Since nitrogen (N) is often limiting in permafrost soils, we investigated the N2-fixing genetic potential and the inferred taxa harboring those genes by sequencing nifH gene fragments in samples taken along a permafrost thaw gradient in an Alaskan boreal soil. Samples from minimally, moderately and...
